A win looks unlikely, but that also seemed to be the case prior to the games against Ohio State in '95 and '96 and the bowl game against Florida in '08. Doesn't this set up as a potential "Nobody Believed In Us!" type of game?

I always imagined growing up that their lead singer had a mustache and looked a little like Gallagher. Now that I know that he actually looks like Peggy Olson's creepy older brother, I'm strangely disappointed.

If you skip ahead to about the 11:50 mark of that 1976 Bo video, you'll get to see some great archival footage of what fans were like 35 years ago. The bit with people hanging out of moving cars at around 14:00 is especially entertaining.

I've always liked Thorne. Maybe his precision as a play-by-play guy has slipped, but he usually does a great job of capturing the emotion and intensity of the game. I'll always remember his call of Darren McCarty's cup winner in '97.

Plus, I like that he always refers to the Marsh Peg when the net becomes dislodged.

The Ducks really had no tradition to speak of when they mucked with their unis. Part of hating OSU is the familiarity of the uniforms. It screws up the visuals when they're running around in stupid "pro combat" red helmets. It'd be like if the Yankees ditched the pinstripes for teal. You'd still hate them, but it would just feel weird.

Wait...there's a game on Saturday? of which the outcome hasn't been decided yet? Right on!

Brandon said something the other day about how it's great that the fanbase is so passionate, but that they only have 5% of the access and information that he does. We really have no choice but to trust that he will make the right decision. Here's hoping that events ultimately prove him right either way, because that means that in the future we will be back to talking about hating OSU instead of creating endless threads arguing about whether the coach should be fired or not.

I think that is that particular BTN announcer's catchphrase. "So and So's got a CHANCE!" I've heard him deploy it several times...including once in the Temple-PSU game when Devon Smith was returning a punt but got tripped up just short of the goal line. The announcer yelled into his microphone, "Smith...with a CHANCE.....D'OOOOOOHHHHHH!" It's good for a laugh...but clearly not good enough for me to look up the clip and embed.

the contrast is comical and the agenda is so bleedingly obvious it makes my head hurt. it's sad really...I used to love reading the free press when I was a kid. now, I only go there to see what new logical fallacy they're trying to employ in an effort to discredit Michigan.
